News the local
Dear Readers Well it has been quite a year of change for us here at the local Oracle. Both of us hit the big 50 and we decided it was time to renew our excitment about our long established business. Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU Jane Accounts/Sales t: 01732 525805 Anna Artwork/Sales t: 01732 525806 info@thelocaloracle.co.uk www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Cut off dates for advertising in the January editions are: • S evenoaks 15th December • Malling 15th December • Maidstone 19th December • Tonbridge 19th December thelocaloracle thelocaloracle
We changed our accounting system that has made things easier for us and our advertisers. We had a design overhaul which tied in with us changing our design software and bringing us up to date with technology. Finally we started the process of changing our website to give a better advertiser and user experience. Many of you will know that building new websites never seem to go as you think they will. After making many promises, we are certain you will be able to have a browse with a mince pie in one hand and glass of mulled wine or whatever takes your fancy, over the Christmas period! All editions will be available on our website www.thelocaloracle.co.uk and you can find day to day changes for events or advertisers on facebook.com/ thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle. All that remains for us to say is have a Merry Christmas and safe, happy New Year. We will be back in early January ready for another exciting year!
